The Leica 35mm f/2.5 Summarit is a classical wide-angle lens with high optical performance. It offers Leica’s traditional optical and mechanical excellence at a lower price point than the current M ASPH lenses.

With its f/2.5 maximum aperture and classical, proven spherical lens designs, this lens provides excellent quality in a compact package. The nine-bladed circular aperture creates a shallow depth-of-field that brings attention to the subject and blurs the background, which is ideal for portraits and weddings.

This lens features “6-bit” coding, which allows the digital M camera to read this information optically and to identify which lens is being used. The camera can then apply optional “final-stage” software-based vignetting correction. For RAW images, the camera simply records the lens you’re using without making any changes.
